Whenever someone was teasing me as a child, I would imagine I also had some Golden Bracelets that would deflect the hurtful words (bullets) back to the one saying them to me.
What I never realized until I was grown up, is that I was using the power of my imagination for my own emotional protection. Its an effective imagery technique called cushioning, and as an adult I have taught that very same method to many other children who have been teased & bullied.
And I always keep my golden bracelets nearby, just in case.
Bullies suck. Don't be a bully. Be Wonder Woman.
